Steps

breun:

Can you provide any types of steps for how to install subversion on a plesk 8 system?

Thanks,
Scott

It's not different from a normal install. Plesk doesn't really have anything to do with this.

Well I could yum install subversion as instructed at:

But I would prefer the latest version of subversion.

I tried to download the main file and the dependency files but when I ran ./configure to check for dependencies I realize I don't have a compiler.

So I check out yum install gcc and receive the following information about what will be downloaded and installed.

Is this ok [y/N]:

The problem is that I do not know if any of these will break anything that is currently running in plesk. Since its updating glibc, glibc-common, and libgcc I don't want to break anything already working correctly for plesk. It is obviously not as simple to everyone as it is to you. So I just decided to post if someone had some steps.

You can just use yum update when using Plesk (and actually, you should if you want to keep your system patched). It's not necessary to compile subversion yourself though, just install the packages from Dag's repository. Add his repository to your yum configuration and yum install subversion mod_dav_svn if you want to run a Subversion server using WebDAV.

Or you can use mod_dav without installing anything.

On plesk8+fedora core it's already compiled as a module for apache2.

you just have to put "Dav On" under a VirtualHost and Directory directives (httpd.include or vhost.conf)

it's working great, but files are created with apache2 user ownership. I'm using suphp and it's causing troubles (apache user < 1000 so suphp won't let http requests). Any idea to get mod_dav working with suphp ?

mod_dav.so is included in the httpd package, but mod_dav_svn.so is not. They are not the same module.

yep, sure they're different. But it's good to know mod_dav is included by default is plek8/apache installation !
